Commander R. P. Mack, MVO 


Preface 


The late Commander R. P. Mack, Mvo was known 
throughout the numismatic world as the author of “The 
Coinage of Ancient Britain’ which was first published in 
1953 and has been reprinted twice since that date. Ancient 
British coins were indeed his greatest interest, and his 
collection of no less than 306 coins forms the most complete 
private collection of this series in existence. 


His numismatic interest, however, was by no means confined 
to the coins of Ancient Britain, and his collection of Anglo 
Saxon and Norman coins is again one of the most complete 
in the world. He was especially keen on the Baronial coins of 
the Norman period which still pose so many problems of 
identification. Although not a specialist collector of Mints, 
he was always keen to add to his coins of Winchester which 
was close to where he lived, and many other Mints are well 
represented. The series of William I pennies of type VIII 
are particularly well represented by over 50 different Mints. 


In 1973 the British Academy published the entire collection 
of Ancient British, Anglo-Saxon and Norman coins in 
Volume 20 of their series of sylloges of important collections. 


The collection had its beginnings as far back as 1908 when 
Commander Mack was a small boy of seven. He was given a 
little bag of Roman coins. His mother, who was a collector of 
china, glass and other antiques, encouraged him and the 
collection was really started with the purchase in Winchester 
of two English silver pennies for a shilling each. During his 
Naval service and up until the War, the collection was more 
or less a general one, including both hammered and milled 
English gold and silver coins. After the War, however, 
Commander Mack decided to concentrate entirely on 
Ancient British, Anglo-Saxon and Norman coins, and the 
rest of his collection was sold. Collections such as Grantley, 
Ryan, ‘Tatts and Parsons came on the market, and many ; 
coins from these collections were added. When the Lockett 
collection was dispersed, the opportunity to add many 
rarieties occurred and another important source was the 
collection formed by the Duke of Argyll. Pedigrees and find 
spots were of particular interest to Commander Mack and 
very careful records of these were kept as will be seen from 
the catalogue. 


After retiring from the Navy at the end of the War, 
Commander Mack had time to spend with his coins and no 
one could have had more enjoyment from studying his 
collection and meeting the many other collectors he came to 
know through membership of the Royal and British 
Numismatic Societies. Although he also inherited from his 
mother an interest in English china, coins was always his 
first love and he was encouraged tremendously in his hobby 


by his wife, Marjorie, to whom his book on Ancient British 
coins was dedicated. Commander Mack was a person of 
infinite charm and kindness, and I remember with affection 
my visits to his home in Droxford and the innumerable 
occasions when he came to Spinks in London. 


In 1966 the collection in its entirety was handed over to 
Commander Mack’s son and daughter, Richard Mack and 
Mrs D. P. Rowatt, and the owners have now given 
instructions for the sale. The coins will be sold by auction in 
several parts. This catalogue contains the first selection and 
a cross section of all the coins has been included. 


There are so many rarities in the sale that it would be 
superfluous to select individual coins for mention. Every 
coin, however, is illustrated and collectors will be able to see 


for themselves the wide range of material being offered for 
sale.

Collection of Ancient British coins presented to the British 
Museum by Sir Arthur Evans, 1919. The remainder of the 
English series from the introduction of the penny were 
prepared for sale and plates actually printed. The collection 
was then bought en bloc by J. Pierpont Morgan and 
subsequently resold. The British Museum had first 
selection and acquired many great rarities. The remainder 
dispersed, many of them passing to the late R. C. Lockett. 
Plates for the projected catalogue were stored in the British 
Museum. A very few were released but the bulk was 
destroyed in the coin room fire during the Second World 
War

SALE CATALOGUES 


On the average we issue twelve or more Coin Catalogues and three Naval 
& Military Medal Catalogues each year, some of which are usually of 
Sales of important Collections. 


Catalogue Subscriptions 


Sale Catalogues, frequently illustrated, are normally posted to Sub- 
scribers about three weeks prior to the date of Sale. 


List of ‘Prices Realised’ are issued after each Sale, thus giving at a 
glance a reliable guide to value. The final test of value must always be 
auction prices rather than the figures given in books of reference, for 
changing times and fashions soon render the latter obsolete and mis- 
leading. The Lists of ‘Prices Realised’ will probably be enclosed in a 
following Sale Catalogue. 


Subscription Rates 


(commencing from Ist January) 


Coin Catalogues and subsequent list 
of Prices Realised £3.00 per annum 


Naval & Military Medal Catalogues and 
subsequent list of Prices Realised £0.75 per annum 


(Reductions for new subscribers commencing after 1st April.) 


All subscriptions expire on 31st December, and renewal reminders are 
issued. Catalogues of past Sales cannot be supplied. 


Air Mail 

To allow subscribers resident outside Europe time to submit postal bids, 
Pre-Sale Catalogues will, if desired, be sent by Air Mail. Air Mail 
postage is not, however, included in the Subscription Rate and the cost 
must be borne by the Subscriber. In such cases an additional {£2.00 
should be sent as a deposit and we will advise when this is exhausted.
